[WP] "DOC!" The deputy yelled, "The crash, up on the mountain! They're asking for you!" "The plane crash? You don't understand, I'm not a medical doctor, I retired from NASA." "No doc, you don't understand! That ain't an airplane, they ain't human, and they're asking for you!"	204
[WP] The invaders came to the West Virginia, to be met only by an old woman. "...these here hills are older than bones. We've mined here for centuries, and we've dug deep." "Are you threatening us?" "Nah sir, giving fair warning."	200

[WP] "MOO...AH...AH...AH!". "No, it's 'Muah, ha,ha,ha'. Like blowing a kiss." "Blowing a kiss and laughing? That doesn't sound very villainous." You sigh loudly. This is going to be a lot harder than you thought.	113
[WP] The Galactic Council glares at your force field cage. You are to bargain for Humanity's survival, due to our barbaric behavior. Half pleading and half braggadocio, your speech bores them until they all recoil in shock. You've just stepped through your cage's full power force fields, unharmed.	107
[WP]"Yes, this parchment is 1600 years old. Yes, the ink is 1600 years old. The handwriting is identical to a specific monk from that period.
